"Instagram wouldn\u2019t be Instagram without its addictive filters. Between classics like Valencia and newbies like Crema it\u2019s always a struggle to choose just one for your latest insta-masterpiece. However, based on a new infographic from Canva.com it seems like everyone and their best friend are choosing the same filter, time and time again. And that filter is Clarendon, which sharpens, brightens, and adds a blue-green tint. \n\nIt&amp;#39;s proved to be the most popular filter in every single state. And with the exception of seven countries (which prefer Juno, Sierra, or Valencia the most), it\u2019s also the most popular filter in the world. Canva then analyzed the second-most-popular filters by state, and that\u2019s where they found a mix, led by Gingham with 16 states, Juno with 14, and Lark with 8. But what\u2019s most interesting about the &amp;quot;No. 2 Most Used Instagram Filters By State&amp;quot; chart is that it seems like filters are popular by region \u2014 coastal regions like New England and the West Coast really like Juno, while Gingham is trendiest in the South and the Pacific Northwest. Meanwhile, Lark was preferred by landlocked states. And according to the project, Kelvin is the filter that gets the most likes when used with the hashtag #fashion, and Skyline is the most-liked filter when used with the hashtag #food. So next time we Instagram our lunch, we\u2019ll be using Skyline.  \n\nHowever, just because Clarendon is the most popular across the board, it may not be the best for increasing your likes, follows, and engagement. According to a study published last May by Yahoo! Labs and Georgia Tech, \u201Cfiltered photos are 21% more likely to be viewed and 45% more likely to be commented on\u201D by your followers. But which filters are the most likely to get liked? Warmer ones are more engaging than cool ones (so not Clarendon), as are the filters that increase exposure and contrast. So dare to be different \u2013 experiment with some of the newer choices like Aden and Skyline, and you might find a new favorite, and get some extra likes. \n\nRelated:  Apple Stores Are Now Offering a Genius Way to Protect Your iPhone Screens\n\nCheck out Teen Vogue\u2019s March issue cover star, Zo\u00EB Kravitz.  \n\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
